4.2  Selecting an Analog or non-decoder locomotive 

A locomotive without a DCC decoder is called an Analog locomotive and is 

run on address 0000.  While an analog locomotive, with no decoder, is sitting 

still on your digital layout, you will hear a “singing” sound. Once the analog 

locomotive is moving, this sound will change and be less noticeable. To avoid 

heat build up in your locos without decoders, Digitrax recommends that analog 

locos 

NOT

 be left sitting on DCC powered track for long periods of time when 

they are not running. 

4.3  Additional address menus 

In address selection mode, press the    menu 

key to bring up 5 new numeric soft keys and 

associated additional address menu tasks as 

shown.  The display you see may be slightly 

different from that shown to the right, depend

-

ing on exactly the history of address selections 

for your system.

4.3.1  Select a prior address using 

RECALL soft key

In loco selection mode with the   menu key 

pressed, the   key is now a soft key showing 

address “Recall” choice.  Press this key to 

bring up the non-volatile list of the last 6 

unique addresses used on this UT6

When in Recall Session Loco List screen, 

pressing a 0-5 numeric key with the address to 

the right will enter that number as the selection 

address   For example if you press the 5 key 

for the recall screen shown to the right, then the address 1000 will be entered 

as the recall selection address. The selection screen will go back with this num-

ber and then pressing 

 will complete the selection of address 1000. 

4.4  Releasing an address from a throttle

When you are finished running a locomotive address, it is best practice to 

release it from your throttle, so that it is available for other throttles to select 

and run.

1.  Use the 

Throttle Knob

 to make the locomotive’s speed zero (this option-

al  step is strongly recommended as the loco will continue to move after 

released if speed is not zero).

2.  Press the 

 key to go into locomotive select mode.
